    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    Currently re-reading The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. It's a loose sequel to Snow Crash if you've read it before. They're both amazing science-fiction books with concepts that have greatly influenced my perception of technology and our world in general. Picking up one of these books is like...

    The Journey of Building and Selling a Physical Product

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    It's been a few days but we are still moving. I did a lot of research and learning on electronics and wiring today, as well as deciding what type of lights should be used for the frame. It seems "rock lights" typically used on off-road vehicles and trucks would be suitable due to their...

    Idea for Meal Replacement/Nutrition Brand

    IDEA 
    Should be a lot more of a straightforward process than inventing new technology. Imma get right to work on this.

    Idea for Meal Replacement/Nutrition Brand

    IDEA 
    So this weekend I was doing a bit of traveling with my family to the world capital of baseball, Cooperstown NY. This town is absolutely beautiful, and the history there is rich, but it has a problem. There's nothing for me to eat. This is a common issue for wherever we travel to. While my...

    Thank you man, I appreciate the support. If you use this while stuck in traffic you are a complete a**hole hahaha. Definitely is a straightforward process (in my head) for how to take this forward. Besides just getting the CAD done, I will have to get pcb's made in order to be able to cram...

    May not be, but it makes you feel safer if you're the user. Either way, some testing will reveal if it's a winner or not. This is supposed to be a safe alternative to brake checking like you mentioned by the way. This allows you to flash lights without stopping the car.

    Noise as in interference, not actual sound, though real sound could have interfered with the sonic sensor. To put it simply: have you ever been driving and someone is way too close to your a$$? Well this is a way to help prevent that. You click a button, and lights on your license plate cover...

    The Journey of Building and Selling a Physical Product

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I've been considering this route if I can get the system to work properly and consistently. If this can get some sales I feel like I could eventually license the tech out to car manufacturers. I'm sure they'd love a feature like this. If/when it gets to that point, I think people will still...

    No, essentially it's just off and inactive until someone gets that close, and then when they enter the range they turn on and start blinking. I'm actually going to pivot here. After extensive sensor testing with multiple sensors, I'm switching this to a wireless remote system like a garage door...

    The Journey of Building and Selling a Physical Product

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    For point 1 I need to find a light that is reflective enough, like the brake light for example, and that should be no problem. For point 2 that is an excellent topic to bring up and I will need to include a legal disclaimer stating that we are in no way responsible for damages as people have...

    The Beginning Of Something New: While Setsign is now gone, I'm not one to quickly give up. I immediately got back up and got back to work. What I am prototyping now is something I am calling the KeepClear system. The Pitch/Need: (Info from: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)...

    What Do You Fight For?

    MINDSET 
    I had a weird dream recently in which I was back in a high school math class (definitely my worst nightmare), and someone asked me "What do you want to do when you get older?" I said something along the lines of "I want to improve the world wholly and completely. Invent new forms of clean...

    I believe in magic, and why you should too.

    Learning to accept that you're wrong is a brutal but liberating experience. I was personally lost in the delusion that I was correct and that what I was doing would give me success, freedom, and acknowledgment but it's not that simple. As Tyler Durden said, you need to just let go. There are a...

    Just had my inbox blown up with all of everyone's responses across the threads. I appreciate everyone's input on how you could make this work but that's just the problem. I'm trying to make it work, the value wasn't conveyed right out of the gate. A really good product should immediately convey...

    I am definitely scared of this, I slapped a provisional patent on my first invention because of this actually. Thank you for your warning though.

    IDEA 
    There's a certain type of light that is commonly used on warning sings that is highly reflective, maybe that could work for day and night. For the sheets the velcro is already a thing so that's not a problem, but securing the dock permanently to the mattress is something I gotta look into.

    Sure! Shoot me a message. I've actually tried to prototype a few of these before.

    IDEA 
    Definitely would not feel the velcro material, it's built mainly into the sides. With the epilepsy issue, the lights aren't super bright at all, they're more like those LEDs that kids put up in their rooms, and it does not blink fast. Thank you for the response by the way, I value your ratings...

    Hey all, after this realization that I need to get concepts out there immediately as soon as I come up with them, I want you to check out some sketches/designs for products in my book and tell me if they're useful at all or not. First up, this one seems like a bit of a gimmick, but I think it...

    I remember this! I wondered what ever happened to the hololens, now it seems Apple picked up the tech and is probably going to make bank using it. Better for me to learn this now than later on. A lot of people always said I had trouble seeing the middle, that I always just saw the end. Maybe...
